Son of the legendary hero...

Grandson of the evil
Super villain...
Puma loco.

Singer: oy, ha, ha, ha-ha!
Miracle city junior matadors.
You begin this season
As a finer team than ever
Before.
You have strength.
You have speed.
And most importantly,
You have honor.
Now go out there and play like
The true champions you are.
[Chanting]: matadors!
Matadors, matadors!
[Sounds of fighting]
[Weakly]: matadors, matadors,
Matadors.
Referee!
That team is not of
Middle school age.
[Laughter]
Dad, how could we win
The championship for
Miracle city if we're the only
Team in the league that doesn't
Cheat?
Now, manny, wouldn't you
Rather lose with honor
Than win with dishonor?
Oh, well...
What was the question again?
Oh...
What has become of my matadors?
When I played, we b*at every
Team in the league.
[Laughs]
Not every team.
Ai!
General chapuza,
You old nemesis, you.
Your miracle city matadors
Have never beaten my
Calavera zombies.
And this year will be
No different.
Especially with me coaching
A team led by my grandson, che.
Grandfather.
When may I torment and destroy
The matadors?
Soon, my grandson, soon.
[Both laugh]
This year, the matadors
Will defeat the zombies.
This I swear!
Dad?
Uh, if we're gonna win
The championship, maybe
We should play, you know,
Uh, like the other teams.
[Gasps]
Are you suggesting we...
Cheat?
No, of course not, never!
A little.
It is as I feared.
You have been corrupted
By the lure of winning.
[Sniffs]
Ai...
Mijo,when I played for
The matadors, we could have
Won by cheating.
But only if I broke the most
Sacred rule, and used
My super powers.
I refused.
We lost the championship.
But I kept my honor.
And how'd everyone feel
About that?
They respected me.
Also, they threw rocks.
So let me get this straight.
If you cheat, you win.
If you don't cheat,
People throw rocks at you?
Rocks of honor.
[Trumpet blows]
I am glad we had this talk,
My son.
Back in my day, miracle city
Won every trophy imaginable.
Except for the league
Championship.
And we're not gonna win it
This year with no-cheaty-petey
Coaching us.
Then I will not have
My revenge on general chapuza.
Oh, well.
Nothing we can do about it,sií?
Duh...
Gasp, a jug band.
I do hope that rodolfo
May not hear them, for he is
Highly allergic to the jug band
Music, and may fall ill
And become unable to coach
Your team.
[Whistles]
Well?
I want to win that trophy,
But...
Manny, do it for the team.
For the team.
Dad?
There's some people here to
See you.
Dad: yes?
Augh!
[Farts]
Eew.
Pretty.
Blech.
[Coughs]
It will be days before I can
Coach the team.
Or wear normal pants.
Or wear normal pants. I have failed you.
I have failed you.
Papi.
Youcould coach the team.
I?
Hmm.
This is an idea which I have
Never considered it.
[Coughs]
I know you're very busy-
You have convinced me.
Come, childrens, off to
Practice.
Oh, and papi.
There will be no cheating, yes?
[Gasps]
Cheat?
Me?
I am sorry, father.
Matadors.
Cheating isn't everything.
It is the only thing!
[Chanting]: matadors,
[Chanting]: matadors, matadors, matadors, matadors!
Matadors, matadors, matadors!
[Whistle blows]
[Bowling pins crashing]
[Bowling pins crashing] [grunting]
[Grunting]
Man: goal!
Man: goal! [Cheering]
[Cheering]
[Grunts]
[Laughter]
Manny: now, stage dive!
[Grunts]
[Grunts]
[Cheering]
Hee-ah!
[Bull bellows]
[Grunts]
[Grunts] [cheering]
[Cheering]
Pirate: argh!
[Whistle blows]
Goal!
Goal! [Cheering]
[Cheering]
I brought you a grapefruit
Basket, dad.
Uh, to go with the other ones.
Manny, if I didn't know you
Better, I'd think you were
Lavishing me with gifts
To relieve some guilt
You're feeling that's gnawing
Away at your insides
Like a starved rat.
A starved rat!
So how is the team doing?
We've won games in a row,
And we're in the championship
Against calavera!
And it's all because...
I taught you to play fair?
Not cheat and compete
With honor?
Yeah...
Well, I should go.
Manny?
Manny: yes?
I'm very proud of you.
Yeah, thanks.
[Cheering]
[Cheering] [cheering]
[Cheering]
[Screaming]
It's o.k., Everyone, only
A little puffy.
[Laughs]
Uh, not a monster.
I'm here to see my son
Prove the superiority
Of fair play.
[Growling]
Matadors!
Huddle up.
This is it, team.
The chance to bring the trophy
Home to miracle city.
Is there anything anyone
Would like to say before
You take the field?
Yes.
How 'bout we play fair,
Don't cheat, and compete
With honor?
[Laughter]
Mijo,always with the jokes
To keep the team loose.
[Laughs]
Now get out there and cheat like
You've never cheated before!
[Whistle blows]
[Grunts]
O.k., Team, let's show them
How the matadors play.
[Whistle blows]
[Growls]
Look, a pony!
[Screams girlishly]
This, this is not fair play.
[Screams]
[Cheering]
[Cheering]
[Whistle blows]
Che: [grunts]
[Cheering]
[Whistle blows]
Half-time.
[Laughs]
We are doomed!
Doomed to a defeat that will
Haunt us forever.
[Spine cracks]
Unless...
Manny, we need el tigre.
All: [gasp]
I can't use my super powers.
Dad would never forgive me
If I broke that most sacred
Rule.
If I play as el tigre,
I will lose what little honor
I have left.
And if you do not,
And if you do not, then we havealllost.
Then we havealllost.
Then we havealllost. [Laughs]
[Laughs]
I'll do it.
[El tigre roar]
A disguise to fool
The referee.
The referee. [Whistle blows]
[Whistle blows]
[Cheering]
[Whistle blows]
[Cheering]
My hair.
My beautiful hair.
The time has come.
We must use our secret w*apon.
Yeah.
I'm going to pop their heads off
Like bottle caps.
Like bottle caps. That's a good boy.
That's a good boy.
Manny, one more goal
And we're tied.
We might really win
The championship.
[Laughs]
[Gulps]
[Gulps] [cheering]
[Cheering]
[Chanting]: tigre, tigre,
Tig... Ooh...
Manny?
No.
No!
[Inhales loudly]
No!
Audience: [gasps]
If we're gonna win
This thing, we're gonna do it
This thing, we're gonna do it with honor.
With honor.
[Gasps]
[Gasps]
[Gasps]
Ai!
[Gasps]
Audience: oh...
[Whistle blows]
Oh.
Audience: [boos]
Hooray for us.
I couldn't do it.
As much as I wanted
That trophy, honor was
More important.
Yes,mijo.
And some day, people will
Respect you for this decision.
But for now...
Run!
[Shouting]
Ah, the sweet sting
Of rocks of honor.
They feel good, don't they?
They feel like rocks, dad.
They feel like rocks, dad. They feel like rocks!
They feel like rocks!
They feel like rocks! [♪...]

[Sirens wailing]
[Sirens wailing] [truck horn blows]
[Truck horn blows]
Sancho panza!
Free toilet paper!
[Laughs]
Ah, it's a thing of beauty.
No!
It is a thing of ugly!
Clean.
Now.
Ah, the recycling center.
Do you accept used toilet paper?
Yeah.
Unfortunately.
I'm sorry, dad.
It's hard not to be bad.
There are so many opportunities.
[Laughs]
There are opportunities
To help as well, manny.
Sometimes you just have to
Look for them.
[expl*si*n]
Other times, not so much.
I need a-metal to make
This city pay for a-what it
Has-a done to me.
And I'm a-gonna get it.
And I'm a-gonna get it. You want metal?
You want metal?
[Laughs]
You ain't a-seen the last
Of me.
Ya mangy coyote.
O.k., Be good!
Gee.
Thanks for saving the day.
Fear not, good citizen.
Fear not, good citizen. I am here to help.
I am here to help.
Awesome!
You see,mijo?
Helping is fun.
Man, if you get to do stuff
Like that, I'm gonna help
Until it hurts.
So...
You want-a to help, huh,
El tigre?
Just like-a you "helped"
When I was utterly humiliated
By the people of-a miracle city.
[Old-fashioned piano playing]
When I came a-to this famous
A-western city,
I thought at last I could be
The cowboy I had always dreamed
Of being.
But on my first day of school...
Howdy, "pardners".
I'm-a cowboy sergio, and this is
My trusty steed,
Mr. Broomy horse.
[Trumpet neighs]
Yee-haw...
[Laughter]
Huh?
Yippy-kai-yay, man.
Uh, the elementary school's
Down the road.
I'm in-a seventh grade.
Oh, uh...
[Laughs nervously]
Oh.
[Laughter]
Sergio: I rode off,
Their pitiless laughter searing
My very soul.
But as I rode home, I found that
Everywhere in-a miracle city...
It was-a the same.
Now it isiwho will laugh
At them!
As soon as I complete...
As soon as I complete... Mr. Broomy horse mark seven!
Mr. Broomy horse mark seven!
[Growls]
I am here to help.
I am here to help.
Dude, that's starting to
Creep me out.
Aaron, you haven't done
Your homework in weeks.
This is it.
Turn in your assignment
Tomorrow, or you will be
Expelled!
No more school?
Wow, thanks.
Young man, you need help.
Help?
[Video game-like version of
"The mexican hat dance" plays]
Wha...?
I am here to help.
You see?
Gravity is what made
The apple fall.
Um, I gotta go to
The bathroom.
The bathroom. Gravity will help you do it.
Gravity will help you do it.
Come on, aaron.
[Toilet flushes]
Goat: hmph!
[Video game noises]
[El tigre roar]
You are gonna do your
Homework, my friend, or else
"Super macho fighter" gets it.
[School bell rings]
Class, not only did aaron
Do his homework, [laughs]
He got a perfect score
On today's pop quiz!
This one's for you, manny.
Thanks for helping.
You did a good thing, dude.
[Cheering]
O.k., I got gym, now.
What do you got going on?
I will continue to help.
Let no man try to stop me!
Have fun, crazy.
[El tigre roar]
[Screams]
You are wearing a new white
Shirt and are about to eat
A sloppy joe.
To keep your shirt clean,
From now on you will eat
Only crackers.
Flavorless, dry crackers!
[Screams like a chicken]
Lack of muscle tone
Is unhealthy.
Do , push-ups...
A day!
Stop wasting time with that
Yo-yo and do something
Constructive, like...
Learn to play the banjo!
Play better!
And you.
High heels arebadfor
Your arches.
Take 'em off!
El tigre is here!
To... Help!
[Gasps]
What?
I'm here to help.
Crowd: [screams]
Hey, check this out.
Mira.
You're gonna win that diorama
Contest for sure.
But this isn't a diorama.
Manny, you can't force people
To change.
But you're not doing it to me,
So who cares, right?
All right, let's get going.
Going?
Yeah, me and the atomic
Sombreros are doing a lunch
Concert, remember?
This band thing is going
Nowhere, frida.
You need to give it up
And learn something practical,
Like how to tap dance!
[Gasps]
Give up my band?
Wait.
Now youaredoing it to me.
I said...
Learn to tap dance!
Somebody should a-really
Do something about that guy,
Huh?
Yeah.
Somebody should.
[Whispering]
People, I want help-zilla out,
And the old manny back.
And sergio here has an idea
How we can do it.
I believe I know someone
Who can help.
Someone who can...
Show el tigre the error
Of his ways.
Like a counselor, right?
[Laughs]: yes.
A counselor.
A counselor. [Laughs maniacally]
[Laughs maniacally]
Uh, i, uh, I just remembered
A joke.
Man, I look good.
Boy: you look like a bully!
Frida?
What is this?
Manny, there's someone
I want you to talk to.
Where's sergio's friend?
Here.
Ooh, this may have been
A mistake.
It's over, pardner.
No more bullying these
Fine-a folks.
Bullying them?
I was helping them.
Right, guys?
[Cheering]
[Cheering] I thought I was doing good.
I thought I was doing good.
Yee-haw!
[Cheering and laughter]
[Laughs]
Crowd: ooh...
There's a new sheriff
In town,amigos!
Crowd: [screams]
Oh, yeah.
Mistake.
Git along, little doggies.
My trusty steed's
Prit' near done, and soon
I'm-a gonna crush this city
Under his hooves of doom!
And no one will ever laugh at me
Again.
[Cat meows]
Frida: [grunts]
Pst.
You would say that.
I swear I didn't mean for
This to happen, manny.
You've gotta help us.
Iwashelping.
How could you do this to me?
Don't you know you can't
Force people to change?
Yeah, I know that.
Do you?
Of course, i-
Oh...
This, this is all my fault.
Yep...
I need my belt.
Back to work, little filly.
You got a sensor array
To install.
Installthis.
Villain: what's it...?
Manny!
[Grunts]
[Whispers]: catch.
[El tigre roar]
Siniestro!
Showdown.
Suits me, pilgrim.
Cause my ride's k*ll.
[Neighs]
Oh...
Siniestro: now at w*r.
Siniestro: now at w*r. Giddy-up, my mighty steed.
Giddy-up, my mighty steed.
Who's laughing now, huh?
Who's laughing now?
Time to tether that horse.
[♪...]
Mr. Broomy horse mark seven!
Dad-burn it.
I'll be back.
And next time, I'll be bigger.
Next time, I'll be
More powerful.
And next time, I'll design
An escape pod with a parachute!
[Pops]
D'oh.
[Sirens wail in distance]
Everybody, I just wanted to
Say I'm sorry for the threats,
The bossing you around,
The listening in on your
Phone calls.
You did what now?
But I think we've all learned
A valuable lesson.
And if you've got a few minutes,
[Clears throat]
Help is like a wrestling match,
It's-
[Playing "la cucaracha"]
[Cheering]
A little help here?
A little help here? [♪...]
[♪...]
[Kids cheering]
Manny: look, a pony!
Manny: look, a pony! [Girlish screaming]
